Introduction
We have included several drawings to show the right and wrong way of doing things.
The right way will have a smiling face by it. A sad face shows something is wrong.
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (Where applicable). Do not
remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

Lighting the appliance
The ignition system works by means of a battery. Details on how to replace the battery are given on page 27.
Grill and hotplate
To light
1 Push in the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol (highest
setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button.
Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas may cause the flame to spread.
Oven
To light:
1 Open the oven door. 2 Push in the control knob, turn it to gas mark 9 and press the ignition
button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button. There will only be small flames at first.
3 Now turn the control knob to the gas mark you want. 4 Wait until the burner is showing large flames. 5 Close the oven door.

For your safety
When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you leave the appliance. When you are turning off a burner, do not leave the appliance until the flame has gone out.
Lighting the appliance
The grill
The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food.
Prior to using the grill
We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.
Heat control
The grill control gives two heat settings. The control knob turns to the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high setting should be used for fast cooking such as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker food such as chicken after it has been browned on the high setting.
Grill pan
The pan is designed so that you can pull it forward but it will stay supported. To remove the pan push it back as far as possible and lift it off. Replace it in reverse order.

The grill
For your safety
After replacing the pan, pull it out to make sure it has fitted back properly.
Caution
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away. Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires.
Cooking positions
Place the grill pan so that the bottom of the handle fits into the hole on the shelf.
Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. The grid can be turned over to suit different thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes straight on to the grill shelf. This is useful when you are browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese.
Preheating
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or when browning food.
Positioning food on the grid
Place food such as toast, teacakes and muffins towards the centre of the grid.
Place food which needs a more gentle heat such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the grid.
Arrange meat, meat products and fish to suit their thickness and how you like them cooked.

The hotplate
Heat control
The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol.
Burner sizes
The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit different types of cooking:
Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering food such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").
Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across the hob.

For your safety
1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are
reaching across the hotplate.
2 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than
pans which are warped.
3 Do not use pans with very heavy handles which
cause the pan to tip. 4 Put pans on the centre of the burners. 5 Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally
knocked. 6 Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do
not cover the pan with a lid.
Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches
fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to
smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes. 7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat
base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If
you use a round based Wok with a collar support,
the collar must be of the open wire work type. A
closed collar will affect the performance of the
burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that the
collar is stable on the pan supports. Always follow
the instructions that come with the Wok.

Helpful hints
1 Keep flames under the base of pans.
If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas.
2 Only heat the amount of liquid you
need. Do not overfill pans.
3 Cover pans with a lid whenever
possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen.
4 Try cooking more than one vegetable
in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots.
5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces.
This way they will cook more quickly.
6 A pressure cooker will save time and
energy.

The oven
Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods requiring different temperatures all at the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays during cooking or you can remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Preheating
You do not need to preheat the oven when casseroling and so on.
Preheat the oven for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.
When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the instructions on the packing. When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
Oven shelves
You can slot the oven shelves in any of five positions. Positions are counted from the top downwards.
For safety the shelf will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into a different position keep the front edge raised, slot the shelf on to the runner, lower the front edge and slide the shelf in.

The oven
Baking trays and dishes
For the best results from the main oven we recommend that you use a
baking tray which is 310mm (12") square.
The size of tray which should be used in the second oven should not be
bigger than 310mm x 230mm (12" x 9"). Place the longest side parallel
with the door. Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn large items around during cooking. Turn all food round in the second oven.
Roasting
For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes. If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb). When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be required to prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is fully cooked.

The oven
Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes and the sides of the oven so the heat can circulate properly.
Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flames.
For your safety
Never place cooking dishes, trays and so on over the oven burner. This will damage the appliance as well as the ovenware and possibly the floor covering underneath the appliance.
